A place to post memes & images that won't absolutely obliterate your mental health! Memes must not stray into hopelessness and be generally positive or neutral.
I made this with my kid in mind, so that they can have a good, safe place to look at memes, just made to make folks laugh and smile!
Only goofs & silliness. (:

MODERATORS
The traditional toxic redditor stereotype never struck me as particularly overweight.
The less pleasant portions of the community have a pretty long history of hating fat people, and the last few years I was there I noticed a bit of a trend toward somewhat puritanical outlooks on indulgent food or general alcohol use. Still anecdotal, but this corroborated with my (ill-advised) decision to attend a reddit meet up. Not a lot of fat people there.
My guess is that though many were not overweight, they didn't have much else going for them. It was easier to insult someone being overweight than being broke or single or too online because it was the one that didn't apply to them.
